💰Bill Gates paid daily fines for over a decade to get his dream Porsche 959. In 1988, Gates imported a Porsche 959, a revolutionary supercar not certified for U.S. roads due to its non-compliance with safety and emissions standards. The government refused to release the car, so it sat in customs storage for years. Rather than give it up, Gates and other car enthusiasts began lobbying to change federal import laws. Meanwhile, he paid an estimated $28 per day in storage fees, racking up more than $133,000 over 13 years just to keep the car in the country. In 1999, thanks in part to these efforts, the “Show or Display” law passed, allowing historically significant vehicles like the 959 to be legally registered with limited road use. Gates finally got to drive his dream car legally in the early 2000s. What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 Featuring Media From Porsche #porsche #porsche959 #classiccar #vintagecar #cars
